Sinossi

Toilet Paper Secrets unveils the surprising global history of personal hygiene after defecation. Far from a trivial topic, the book explores diverse cultural practices and materials used throughout history, revealing insights into cultural values, technological advancements, and the human body. For instance, ancient Romans used a sponge on a stick, while islanders used coconut husks. Understanding these past practices helps us view current approaches to sanitation and sustainability.

 
The book begins by establishing a historical context, examining pre-toilet paper methods across various cultures. It then transitions to the advent of commercially produced toilet paper, charting its evolution and ubiquity. It also examines the social and environmental consequences of widespread toilet paper consumption.

 
This narrative emphasizes human ingenuity and adaptation across time and cultures, providing a unique lens on social development. This exploration adopts a global perspective, integrating environmental and social considerations. The book draws from archaeological findings, historical texts, anthropological studies, and scientific research.

 
By connecting the history of toilet paper to fields like environmental science and public health, the pages of Toilet Paper Secrets prompt readers to reconsider their relationship with a seemingly mundane object.

    Is male 'supremachism' really over? The pages you are holding in your hands sow doubts on the common belief that the governance of 'the macho' came to its end. As the proverb confirms, 'the old dies hard', despite the yet-to-improve individual and institutional efforts to achieve gender equality. With the serious tone this capital issue requires, the author debunks the myth of male supremacism as a phenomenon from a past and raises awareness of the subliminal survival of the supremachist ideological apparatus. Subtlety reveals as a key factor for the survival of subliminal supremachist campaigns, which threatens a promising future of non-discrimination. Essentially, democratic citizenship must pose itself a crucial question: Are current Western societies' concessions to feminism genuine or a cover by supremachism to survive in an ideologically volatile world?

    In a Mexico City mansion on October 23, 1789, Don Joaquín Dongo and ten of his employees were brutally murdered by three killers armed with machetes. Investigators worked tirelessly to find the perpetrators, who were publicly executed two weeks later. Labelled the "crime of the century," these events and their aftermath have intrigued writers of fiction and nonfiction for over two centuries. Using a vast range of sources, Nicole von Germeten recreates a paper trail of Enlightenment-era greed and savagery, and highlights how the violence of the Mexican judiciary echoed the acts of the murderers. The Spanish government conducted dozens of executions in Mexico City's central square in this era, revealing how European imperialism in the Americas influenced perceptions of violence and how it was tolerated, encouraged, or suppressed. An evocative history, Death in Old Mexico provides a compelling new perspective on late colonial Mexico City.
